Small cap fundamentalsAdobe®
InDesign® has built-in tools to provide the best possible
appearance of type on a page. In this clip from "Total InDesign,"
instructor Deke McClelland showcases InDesign software’s ability to
create perfect small caps. While most page layout and word processing
programs can create small caps, what they actually give you is a
scaled-down version of the font's large capital letters. This is
undesirable, as the weight of the font is also scaled down, giving the
small caps a much thinner appearance. Only InDesign is able to take
advantage of the true small caps built into expert font collections,
such as Adobe Caslon™. These true small caps are much more attractive
and blend in perfectly with the rest of the font.
